NEW YORK, June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Remote People, a global Employer of Record (EOR) and HR platform, has been named the Best Employer of Record (EOR) platform in the G2 Summer 2026 Reports, earning 80+ badges across Employer of Record, Global Employment Platforms, Contractor Management, Global Payroll, and Professional Employer Organization (PEO) categories. G2 is the world's largest peer-reviewed software marketplace, with all rankings drawn directly from verified user reviews of teams running global hiring through the platform.
Why G2 Named Remote People the Best Employer of Record (EOR) Platform for Summer 2026
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party organization that legally employs workers on behalf of another company, assuming responsibility for payroll, taxes, benefits, employment contracts, and local labor law compliance in each jurisdiction. G2 ranks EOR providers entirely on verified user reviews, with rankings recalculated each quarter. In its Summer 2026 Reports, Remote People earned the broadest recognition of any provider in the Employer of Record category.
G2 named Remote People a Leader in three of the most competitive global hiring categories: Employer of Record (EOR), Global Employment Platforms (GEP), and Contractor Management. The platform was also named a Momentum Leader in Global Payroll and PEO, recognizing accelerating user adoption, and earned the #1 position for Highest User Adoption in Global Employment Platforms Mid-Market.
Recognition highlights from the G2 Summer 2026 Reports include:
- Leader in Employer of Record (EOR), a marquee G2 designation reserved for the highest-rated, most-reviewed vendors in a category.
- Leader in Global Employment Platforms (GEP) and Leader in Contractor Management, confirming category leadership across the full international hiring stack.
- Momentum Leader in Global Payroll and PEO, awarded to vendors with the strongest year-over-year growth in users, employees, and review velocity.
- Highest User Adoption in Global Employment Platforms Mid-Market, a G2 metric measuring how deeply customers actually deploy the platform after purchase.
- Specific badges include High Performer, Easiest To Use, Easiest Admin (Small Business), Best Meets Requirements (Small Business), Best Support (Enterprise), Users Most Likely To Recommend, Momentum Leader, and Regional Leader (Mid-Market, EMEA).
- 5 out of 5 G2 rating across verified reviews from teams running global hiring on the platform.
80+ Badges, One Source: Verified Customer Reviews
Unlike analyst-led rankings, G2's reports are computed entirely from verified user reviews. To earn a Leader badge in a category, a vendor needs both broad user satisfaction and a significant volume of reviews from real customers. Remote People's 80+ Summer 2026 badges span every major G2 report relevant to global hiring, including Enterprise, Mid-Market, Small Business, and Regional (EMEA) editions.
The recognition adds to Remote People's position as a #1 EOR provider across three independent 2026 rankings: People Managing People, SelectSoftwareReviews, and Outsource Accelerator. The convergence of peer-reviewed and analyst-led recognition reinforces Remote People's status as the leading global employment partner for companies hiring internationally.
CEO Statement
"G2 is the hardest recognition to manufacture, and that is exactly why it matters," said Antoine Boquen, CEO of Remote People. "Every one of these 80+ badges traces back to a verified review from a real team running global hiring through our platform. You cannot lobby for a Leader badge, you cannot buy a Momentum Leader badge, and you certainly cannot fake a Highest User Adoption ranking. Earning Leader status in Employer of Record, Global Employment Platforms, and Contractor Management at the same time, alongside our #1 EOR rankings from People Managing People, SelectSoftwareReviews, and Outsource Accelerator, tells us the operational fundamentals are landing with customers exactly where they should: in fast implementation, real support, and reliable global coverage in 180+ countries."
